Love & Politics

The new death and taxes?

In our app-for-everything culture, finding love has all the romance of TurboTax. Meanwhile our politics has come to feel inescapable, more a race to the finish than art of the possible. RNS Audio is here this week to remind you that love can be joyful and politics, well, loving.

On Martini Judaism with Jeff Salkin, Rabbi Shai Held looks at love writ large, and how the idea of God's love has been marginalized in modern society. In this fantastic conversation, he invites us to bask in the warmth of a loving God.

Saved By The City dives headlong into the dread that surrounds this fall's "Groundhog Election," with the return of two campaigns we lived through four years ago. Guest Michael Wear has some thoughts on how to survive it, and even vote like a Christian. Curious? Check out Has Politics Poisoned Our Souls?

The Jewish eroticism that hides in almost plain sight.

Michael Wear challenges us to seek a more soulful politics that will help get us to November 5.
